The song was written by Brian McFadden, Stuart Crichton and Tommy Lee James, with Delta Goodrem. It was produced by Crichton and Marius de Vries. It discusses choosing not to associate with a future lover because he will only break her heart and he never tells her whats on his mind. Seen in the lyrics. The song is a perky reggae sing along song. Seen in reception.

Reception



The song was well received for its upbeat perky music and reggae vibe. It is called a "frolicking reggae finger-snapper", "a sense of fun in her music" and "follows through with everything from the fun electronica/reggae"

Music video



The video premiered on Goodrem's YouTube channel. The video shows many boxes that constantly change between the fan submitted videos and Delta's five different personas.

'Natural Delta' is sitting on a couch watching the entries through her red Vaio laptop.


'Punk Rock Delta' holds a red guitar and a black wig, with tattoos on her arm.


'Hard Rock Delta' sports a blonde wig and is playing the drums.


'Fortune Teller Delta' (Hippie Delta; or as Delta states: "Tori Amos"-style piano player) is playing a piano with candles on it.


'Diva Delta' sings to the song very "dramatically" into a microphone.

Chart performance



It was the most added track to radio on its week of radio release. The song became the most added song on radio after it was released in March and has since gone on to top the Australian Airplay Chart.

It debuted and peaked at #14 on the Australian Singles Chart. It spent only 7 weeks in the top 50 ARIA Singles Chart mainly because it charted lowly in its second week, in which it dropped to #26.

On Sunday 13 July, "You Will Only Break My Heart" re-entered the Top 50 ARIA Physical Chart placed at #49.
